I stayed in this "LOW BUDGET" 3 star rated hotel in Blackpool, North ocean hotel.

[@simon_carroll]

Thanks for posting the uv light obviously shows everything. For £18 i still think it was a great price. Great location, lovely views, heating, tv onsuite. Cant really complain, and the owner even wants people to be quiet. That's great. You even started to enjoy and relax with a cuppa!

[@anndaddy8737]

The bed's condition was horrendous but you missed something that's far worse than stains, BED BUGS. Despite finding a live one crawling on the bottom sheet, red stains & black bits around the mattress stitching you never seemed to catch on to what was causing it. BED BUGS are nasty little things & cannot only cause terrible irritation from their bites but they can also carry disease. They can also transfer to your clothes & your luggage & bingo you can then end up with them in your home. Unfortunately they are very difficult to get rid of & usually require a professional to get rid of them. The premises is definitely not clean & should be reported to Environmental Health. I hope you find this informative for future visits.

Always put your suitcase or luggage bag on a stand or side cabinet never on any beds,,,, has bed bugs love this when you return home, giving them to,,,,,, a new home to breed

[@lindaallen78]

Yep bed bugs. I would have got the hell out of there. That UV light certainly turned up lots of other nastiness. 3 star hotel? Really? It didn't deserve any stars based on that one room. You are a brave, brave, man staying in that one. Oh and another thing, remote controls. I bet you would need a packet of wet wipes to clean one of those!

You did better than me, when I stayed there I left at 6 am , couldn't stand the stench from the bathroom and had booked in for 2 nights . I lost the 2nd night tried for a refund but got nowhere. Like I said before the worst place I've ever stayed and would never stay in B&B without researching it more and always read the worst reviews first. I couldn't take a UV light , I dread to think of what the stains are and just wouldn't stay. You are braver than me. Go a little up market and treat yourself. I'm sure lots of B & B owners would value your honest reviews. Like your videos

[@chrismacdonald7955]

Put it this way, I didn't need a UV light to tell me that place would be filthy, covered in stains. I can tell it's only getting a superficial wipe down at best. I once owned a small hotel in Blackpool. It is hard work and there are many who cut corners when it comes to cleaning the rooms. I encourage anyone who books into ANY hotel to pull back the covers on the bed, check the sheets, blankets and mattress and don't forget to check the pillow under the pillowcase. Can't imagine sleeping on that bed. Or using any part of that bathroom YUCK ! Wouldn't stay in SOME of those places for free. Thanks for doing this and showing the reality of hotels like this who need to smarten up their ideas.

I love North Ocean Hotel. I stayed in 2022, loved it so decided to stay at the same hotel when I returned to Blackpool in 2023.

I'll definitely stay there again when I'm in Blackpool this year.

I might be wrong but didn't you do that on one of the first Hotel Hunter vids - went in saw it was grotty cleaned straight away but under UV it didn't seem to have helped (I might be wrong I'm going senile) @@Thehotelhunteruk

[@jamesellsworth9673]

At home, condensation often forms on the outside of our toilet bowls and runs down. Same with the shower walls. The water has a fair mineral content and it leaves streaks. The quality of the carpets, paint, and fixtures in this hotel gives very good value for the price. Having seen the earlier places you have stayed, I'd stay here, even for several nights. As you say, the rules are basically aimed at keeping the place clean, smoke-free, and comfortable. The failure to provide drinks and activities listed in the online ads is unforgivable.

[@Thehotelhunteruk]

[@peedy671]

That was an improvement over the last room Dan! The Bathroom however under the UV light looked like a Jackson Pollock painting! I'm guessing the rules are for his benefit as he probably lives on the premises and due to religious reasons doesn't allow alcohol, but still advertises it with a Bar. But for an overnight stay at that price, it was doable.

[@Thehotelhunteruk]

Thank you for watching

[@somethingaboutbeingout7640]

Nice view that's the best thing about the room. The light that works is better. Natural hot water sometimes there are issues out of personal control. I agree with the quiet if work men are using the room. I agree cleaning if stag and hens are using mit stags and hens that don't give a toss. Price is fair plus its out of season. Driftwood is what it is. Were the tv used to be up on the wall. Someone trashed the room or weak plaster, Your safe. Plastic instead of wood. Safe warm and dry. Take your own toiletries for one night spot on. Fair enough its probably a family business. He wont do that. Busy in season. Pay your money stay one time if its not for you plenty of other hotels in Blackpool. Parking can be a problem. Tv can be an issue but not for some people myself included. This could result in covid or another pandemic. The room needs a deep clean. That's from a cleaners view. A U V light is a good thing to protect yourself personally. You was tired. Serves a purpose needs a clean

[@frankdepellette]
